Great tour with Damien!...
Great tour with Damien! As it was our first day, it was great to be taken around the town and shown the highlights so we were able to explore in greater depth later.
Tuk-tuk was comfortable, fitted with seatbelts and Damien was a careful driver, and considerate to park in the shade when delivering history & knowledge about Faro.
Thank you from us both!

Breathtaking caves!
Arthur was amazing. I am not the adventurous type and he made me and my husband feel comfortable and he was patient with us. We had a small group and he catered to all of us. He was very informative about the caves and helped us capture amazing pictures! This tour was breathtaking!

Amazing tour
What an amazing day with our knowledgeable and fun tour guide João. It was great to see the main sights and hear about the history and culture along the way. We were also given great tips for restaurants and things to do in the Algarve region. While you can’t go inside the Benagil Cave, it is still great to view it from the top. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Wonderful 6 hour trip to several islands.
An excellent trip, don’t hesitate. Our driver Eric was very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. He told us a lot about the lagoon and the islands, and added on an extra stop at a deserted beach. The islands are absolutely beautiful, and lovely to wander around.

10/10 would recommend
Sebastian was a great tour guide, friendly, funny and very considerate of the range of ability in our group.
Had a great time walking and being able to see the caves from above, he answered all our questions, helped us with photos and even suggested how we could come back with transport to do the walk/trail.
The boat tour was quick but had some lovely views and just such an awesome experience.
After we finished with some free time near the beach, the cafe had some great food and wine, food was fresh and staff were very friendly. My aunts went down to the beach (i was hungry) but they enjoyed the beach and still had enough time to get some food after!

Gotta love a Landy Rover.
We had Carla as our driver/guide and had a great day, Carla was very professional and knowledgeable.
Great fun going off the beaten track infact the off road part reminded us of driving on the UK roads, plenty of potholes.
Joking aside a great experience.

Great day trip and perfect for kids!
We had a wonderful time on our tour with Claire. She brought us to some really beautiful sites along the coast. We were able to hike around and explore and we stayed the right amount of time. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wanted to check out the beautiful southern coast. Make sure you bring cash for the snack bar at the end!

Western Algarve Full Day Bus Tour
This full-day tour is very worthwhile as an opportunity to see parts of the Algarve that would otherwise be missed. Silves was a great place to buy things (e.g. ceramics) as prices are much lower than major centers, and Lagos was charming. Cape St. Vincent was a great viewpoint that we weren't even aware of before the tour. Our guide Jonny was excellent and knowledgeable.

Wonderful trip through...
Wonderful trip through the Ria Formosa park and islands. We stopped at two islands, with an opportunity to swim, but the water was too cold already. One is empty, the other one is a village with narrow streets and small houses. Very nice for a walk. On the way back, we caught the beautiful sunset. Our guide and captain was very informative. We enjoyed the tour very much and would recommend it.

Great day in the Algarve.
This was a wonderful tour that showed us different ways of life on the barrier islands of the Ria Formosa.. Barreta Island (formerly a leprosy colony) has only one restaurant and one fisherman's shack. It is beautiful and feels very remote. It is where the Ria Formosa and the ocean meet, with lots of turbulence and large waves. Ilha de Farol (Lighthouse Island) has a very chill, laid back beach vibe, pretty little cottages. Culatra Island, which is actually the same island, but a small fishing village on the other side of the island, shows you the real workings of the fishing industry and lifestyle.
Our guide, Joac, was very informative, friendly, humorous and made you feel safe with his navigation. The boat was very comfortable. The only unfortunate part was unfortunate that we were not able to meet the oyster farmers or watch the process, but Joac did his best to explain the process to us.
I would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful
Expect to be wowed! Wear comfortable shoes, take a hat and sunglasses. Take a light jacket or sweater. The temperatures change from one area to another.
Pedro, the guide is fantastic. He speaks perfect English and showing you his homeland is his passion.

Faro tour
We were on a tour of the caves in Faro - which were beautiful - the sea and scenery were breathtaking. Most of all we thank the driver of our van Jerome Vincent for taking such good care of us. As we are an elderly couple some of the path was a bit rocky. Jerome always had his hand out so we would not trip on the rocky road. He explained so many features to us and we think Faro is so beautiful. Jerome thank you for your help and kindness. Gary and Michelle
